Jackie-O Motherfucker + Six Organs of Admittance + Riley/Radley

Two cult favourites from the 'New Weird America' movement converge for an evening of psychedelic freakouts.

Six Organs of Admittance is the shape-shifting solo outlet of guitarist Ben Chasny. Known for his skilled fingerpicking, sprawling drones and dreamlike textures, Chasny has spent over two decades crafting a sound that feels both ancient and cosmic. His discography, largely on label Drag City, moves fluidly between mysticism, melody, and noise.

Co-headlining is Jackie O-Motherfucker, the ever-evolving project of Portland’s Tom Greenwood. With a rotating cast of over 40 contributors, including a brief appearance from Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering, JOMF explores the outer edges of drone, free jazz, noise, psychedelia, and folk traditions from around the world. Their hypnotic, improvisational live shows and releases on labels like Fire, ATP, and Ecstatic Peace have cemented their place in the lineage of experimental music, with ties to Sonic Youth’s All Tomorrow’s Parties.

Opening up the evening are Bristol duo fingerstyle guitarist Danny Riley and drummer, songwriter and tape label owner Noah Radley; playing improvisational music spanning the free reaches of folk and rock.⁠
